About Marlborough, Massachusetts

Marlborough is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. In 1656, several families from Sudbury, Massachusetts, led by Edmund Rice, John Howe, John Ruddock, and John Bent, petitioned the Massachusetts General Court to create a new town. Its name would be Marlborough, after the market town in Wiltshire, England of the same name. (Wikipedia)
